World War I Today

Kings, Queens and Pawns: An American Woman at the Front

by Mary Roberts Rinehart

The three kings or wise men (Caspar, Melchior, and Balthasar) follow the Star of Bethlehem bearing gifts for the infant Jesus, passing German soldiers round a fire on their way. Rather than the traditional offerings of gold, frankincense, and myrrh, one king carries a box of Leibniz cookies. One king raises the star before them, giving the scene a stage-set quality. From a series of war advertising cards for Bahlsens Leibniz Cookies. Illustration by HDiez.
